Humble Monthly - Early Unlock Games

Part of the fun of the Humble Monthly is that the games in the bundle are a mystery until the reveal date! However, we can’t let you wait a whole month without having a taste, so each Humble Monthly comes with a select “Early Unlock” game that can be played early by new subscribers and current subscribers to pass the time until the reveal date.

New Subscribers

When you first subscribe to the Humble Monthly, you gain access to one of the upcoming games immediately. The rest of the Monthly games are revealed later once the timer on the monthly page runs out on the first Friday of every month.

After your first month, you will need manually choose to pay early for the "early unlock" game (see next section below).

Example: The July 2018 Humble Monthly Bundle, launched on June 1st, 2018. If a customer subscribes before the countdown clock runs out, they will receive the games Hearts of Iron IV, Blackwake, and Portal Knights immediately. The rest of the July Monthly Bundle games will be revealed in 8 days on July 6th, 2018.

Early Unlock for Current Subscribers

Customers who are already subscribed to the Humble Monthly can pay early to receive the “early unlock” game for their next Monthly. Simply go to the page for the upcoming bundle and click the Pay Early button. If you do not choose to pay early, you can wait until the content release date and you’ll get all the games at once!

Example: This user has an existing subscription but they can pay for the subscription month early to unlock Hearts of Iron IV, Blackwake, and Portal Knights immediately.

For multi-month plan subscribers, your plans function on a credit system since you have already paid for multiple months. For example, if you purchased an annual plan, your account will have 12 unique credits that our system will use up each month until the plan runs out. If you do the early unlock, it will simply use up the credit for that month and unlock the page. Beyond that it is functionally the same as for monthly subscribers, go to the page for the upcoming month's bundle and click the green button.

Example: An annual subscriber wishes to unlock the January 2018 Monthly page early. Their green button does not tell them to pay since they have already paid for the full year.
